Not many Days after the Entry of the _Turkish_ Ambassador was the Ceremony of the Marriage of the Archduchess _Maria-Josepha_ to the Electoral Prince of _Saxony_. The Marriage had been projected a long time, and ’tis even said, that the Emperor _Joseph_ had promis’d the King of _Poland_ in Writing to give his Eldest Daughter to the Electoral Prince, on Condition that he would turn to the Catholic Religion. Meantime, while this Match hung in Suspence, the Electoral Prince of _Bavaria_ enter’d the List, which very much embarras’d the Court of _Vienna_, who did not know for which Match to determine. The Person employ’d in this Negotiation by the _Saxon_ Court was the Count _de Wackerbarth_. Soon after him the Electoral Prince in Person came to the Court of _Vienna_, and when he was oblig’d to return, he left the Count _de Lagnasco_ there to take Care of his Interest; who at length obtain’d the Emperor’s Consent, and the Count _de F----_ came with the Character of Ambassador to demand the Princess of the Emperor, which was done with very great Solemnity. As I was curious to know the Ceremonies usual upon such Occasions, I went to the Count _de F----_, on the Day that he was to go on the Emperor for his Audience. Who should I see arrive but the Count _D’Oropesa_, a Grandee of _Spain_, Knight of the Golden Fleece, and one of the Emperor’s Chamberlains, in a Coach drawn by Six Horses, follow’d by a second Coach and Six, with the Emperor’s Arms and Liveries: His Imperial Majesty’s Footmen and the Count’s Lackeys walk’d on each Side of the first Coach. The Count _de F----_ receiv’d the Count _D’Oropesa_ as he alighted out of his Coach, and conducted him into a Room, where Two Chairs of State were plac’d under a Canopy of Crimson Velvet, inrich’d with Embroidery and Gold Fringe; and over the Chairs was plac’d the Picture of the King of _Poland_. The Two Counts seated themselves in the Chairs of State, the Ambassador giving the Right Hand to the Count. They were both cover’d, talk’d for about a Quarter of an Hour, and then went out. The Ambassador stepp’d first into the Emperor’s Coach, and then the Count _D’Oropesa_, the former riding forwards, and the latter backwards over-against him. Four of the principal _Saxon_ Gentlemen in the Ambassador’s Retinue went into the second Coach. Then the March began, when one of the Coaches of the Court led the Way, follow’d by one of the Ambassador’s Officers, at the Head of Twenty-four of his Excellency’s Lackeys; the Coach wherein the Two Counts rode follow’d next; the Emperor’s Footmen and the Count _D’Oropesa_’s Lackeys walking on each Side: Then came Eight of the Ambassador’s Pages, Four of whom were in the _German_, and Four in the _Polish_ Dress; their Coats were of blue Velvet lac’d with Gold: Four Pages of the Back-stairs clad in blue Cloth lac’d with Gold follow’d the other Pages, and Three of the Ambassador’s Coaches with Six Horses each clos’d the March: In this Order
